Sanja Radovanović (born 15.03.1979) is a Home Staging master, international speaker, and entrepreneur from Belgrade, Serbia. She is the Founder of The Art of Staging;
Co-founder and President of EAHSP.[1]; CEO and Co-founder of Handshome, Italy’s first furniture rental company; Creative Director of MARITEAM Immobiliare[2]; Accredited Staging Professional Master; and Luxury home staging specialist.
Radovanović is an industry leader and influencer in the Home Staging industry. She is often interviewed and invited to speak at major Real Estate conferences worldwide about her line of work.
As part of her work, Home Staging is the act of professionally preparing a property for sale or for rent so that it sells in the shortest amount of time and at the best sales price. Home Staging was invented in Washington State, USA, in 1972 by Barb Schwarz, the creator of the staging industry and the first person to stage a home for sale.
Any properties wishing to be sold are suitable for home staging: e.g. dated homes, those which need renovations, renovated properties, or even new builds. This also means that staging is suitable for all types of homes on the market: apartments, villas, mansions, lofts, single detached, and more, as well as the kind of living situation: occupied, furnished, or vacant properties alike.
